At the meeting held in the court on i this month some of the proper ty holders along the creek objected on the grounds that by draining the land in the project, the creek would have more water than it could car y and would back up on propcrtj below the proirct. It is pointed out by experts tha! he- arantl of th upper parts of a water course reduce-, the flood in the lower parts for the drained land acts as a sponge or cquatiring reser- oir and lessens the flood. At the same time, thr drained land is re lievrd of it excess water earlier it he season, keeping the land in sweet er, more fertile condition, permits tho fertilizrrs and lime used to do bet er work and rratly increasing the s:ze of the crops. It has been recently pointed out that naturally and artificially drain rd lands are now earning good crops. The lands on which water stands bake as the evaporating pro cess takes place, and dry out morr thoroughly in the end than the drain ed lands. Where the land is drained early and the plow put in early In the spring, moisture is .-ot. served tb.it has in many cases observed this long dry spell has served to tarry the crops through to a success. not her meeting ill be called the near future to further consider th project and thr county court will make their decision as to whethe the work shall be undertaken or not Foot Specialist Coming On Sept. 5 and 6, the McDowell Shoe company will havr .it their stor a foot socialist, who was trained by Dr. Wm M.
